Stress
Jordan Lorene Jul 2018
Too much stress
I take it on hoping to take it from others
And I saving them or punishing myself?
I know I am happy for either

Unlikeable
Jordan Lorene Jul 2018
I want to be like her
She is such an inspiration
The way she talks and presents herself
Others, including I sometimes, sees her as put off
She admits this
She will never know that I see right through her
I feel as though I feel her emotions
As well as others, but one of hers the most
I want to know others as I know her
To know their flaws and struggles
To compare to mine and help them feel like they are flying, not drowning
Their anxiety puts them down
Oh how I hope it’s not as much as mine
Because to lift someone is to rise them up
No matter how far it pushes you down

A Mask
Jordan Lorene Jul 2018
You say I am more personable and outgoing
This is because if I put myself out there I can put on a mask of how I want others to see me
For if I’m laid back they might see the real me and I don’t want that
For you who are shy are fearless
You let others draw their own conclusions
And I think that’s the bravest of them all
